Ridecamp: [RC] Green Horses/Sour Grapes

Went to Old Glory this weekend, my 1st ride in over 10 years.  Had a
wonderful time! Did the 25 miles, and came in with very little time to
spare.  So what if I was about last.....I finished!  I did it!  I love
endurance.  I never witnessed anyone not using common sense, which is
basically what endurance riding is! I don't want overbearing rules and
*classes*, that's why I do this!  Me, my horse, OUR fears, the heat, the
horseflies, what a blast!

I went to this ride, ALONE.  All by myself.  Drove 3 hours Friday, set up
camp, rode 30 miles Saturday (the 5 extra miles were definitely not
intentional), broke up camp and drove home the same day.  What an
accomplishment. I'm proud of myself!  I'm even more proud that in that
short period of time, I came away with a handful of friends!  I can't wait
to see these folks again on the next ride.  A GREAT bunch of people.

So thank you all for putting on a great ride, and all those wonderful
riders out there.  Thank you for your helpful advice, caring, and most
especially, your friendship!

It's Tuesday, and I could STILL use that epidural!
